BTM (Biological Trigger Mechanism) |
| BTM is formulated to aid in the soil formation process by supplying composting organisms (microflora) to help break down natural organic material. Composting natural organic material will add to the natural humic acid store in “soil colloids” (particles with a large surface area where plant nutrients are stored) and provide nutrients for plants. BTM also contains a form of humic acid, which is an organic component of humus, and is rich in carbon. Loss of humus and humates in soils is a significant factor in poor soil fertility and crop yield per unit. One must also take into consideration the additional costs of fertilizer, fuel, man hours, machinery wear and tear, just to mention a few. Natural soil fertility results from the breakdown of organic material to humus - which is what we generally refer to as composting. Humus is formed in complex chemical reactions from dead plant and animal matter, creating useful plant nutrients. BTM contains the soil organisms that aid in the composting process. The natural microbial process in soil improves soil fertility by creating humus. Promoting soil microbes that induce the breakdown of organic material, reduces the soil’s dependency of chemical products for plant growth. Chemical fertilizers add some components to soil fertility, but neglect or destroy the natural biological soil processes. Conventional agricultural and horticultural practitioners need to consider natural biological soil processes. Healthy natural soil leads to healthy sustainable crop yields, and opens the door to potential reduction in the use of expensive chemical components. Using BTM will help organic matter compost into humus, which adds humate contents to crop nutrient stores. It took many years to bring the soil to the point it is as now, so it will take time to reverse the process and return it to a more natural, healthy state. Farmers report that livestock raised on biologically-grown feed require smaller amounts of feed, and are healthier when eating these products, thereby reducing their input costs in feed and animal health-care expenses. |
Liquid Carbon Concentrate |
|
Liquid Carbon Concentrate is used in conjunction with BTM. It is a very high quality humic acid. Humic acid is a carbon compound which acts as a catalyst in the composting cycle. It actively promotes the decomposition of organic material. Humic substances are the major constituents of soils and sediments, and are widely distributed over the earth’s surface. They occur naturally in almost all terrestrial and aquatic environments. Humic acid is very effective in enhancing activity of preparations of microorganisms. Humic acid is a sequestering compound, and as such, is able to break the bonds of sodium and magnesium with clay particles in heavy soils. This reduces the tightness and compaction of the soil, enabling it to be more easily tilled. The resulting, open, friable soil sustains better water movement, as well as improving soil aeration. This helps to improve the root structure in plants, making them more drought-resistant. Root crops grown in this type of soil, are more uniform in size, which makes harvesting easier. By the same token, once the bond of sodium is broken, it can be leached from the soil. High sodium soils are a major cause of crop failure throughout the world. Agricultural and Horticultural Applications Through utilization of traditional chemical application methods, artificial nutrients are added to the soil, reducing the soil’s ability to replace these nutrients on its own. When the soil becomes unable to replace its own natural nutrients, it becomes unhealthy and less productive, requiring similar or increased applications of chemicals to maintain soil nutrient levels. Humic acid encourages the breakdown of organic matter into the soil. This process of soil structure improvement involves breaking down crop residue from the previous year(s), and ensuring that the portion of the plant not harvested returns its unused nutrients and energy to the soil. H-A works extremely well in the formation of humus. Humus improves the moisture retention capabilities of the soil. This in turn, increases the number of beneficial nutrients and bacterial organisms in the soil. The soil now has an ongoing source of nutrients derived from the existing bacteria, whose jobs are to consume organic matter, and convert it into available plant food. Humic acid speeds up the whole process for these bacteria. Following is a summarized list of some of the primary benefits of using humic acid:
